Does the benefit of time for working memory arise at encoding or retrieval
Extended free time between the encoding of list items enhances immediate memory for serial order. Previous research suggests that this effect is predominantly proactive, free time improves memory for items presented after an extended interval but not for those presented before. This conclusion is based on two key findings. First, in forward serial recall, the benefit of free time increases with the serial position of the items (Mızrak & Oberauer,…
Verbal working memory encodes phonological and semantic information differently
Working memory (WM) is often tested through immediate serial recall of word lists. Performance in such tasks is negatively influenced by phonological similarity: People more often get the order of words wrong when they are phonologically similar to each other (e.g., cat, fat, mat). This phonological-similarity effect shows that phonology plays an important role for the representation of serial order in these tasks. By contrast, semantic similarit…
The semantic relatedness effect in serial recall
The ability to store information in verbal working memory (WM) closely interacts with our linguistic knowledge. For instance, we can hold semantically related words (e.g., “cat, dog, bird”) better in our WM than unrelated ones (e.g., “desk, pillow, mouse”). This study investigates boundary conditions of the beneficial effect of semantic relatedness of words on immediate memory for lists. Independently varying the encoding and recall order for lis…
Relationship between emotion and forgetting
A major determinant of forgetting in memory is the presence of interference in the retrieval context. Previous research has shown that proactive interference has less impact for emotional than neutral study material (Levens & Phelps, 2008). However, it is unclear how emotional content affects the impact of interference in memory. Emotional content could directly affect the buildup of interference, leading to reduced levels of interference. Altern…
